A dark green acrylic set for four, deep enough to separate from a pale cloth and from the ivory racks most tables already own.

Every coloured mahjong set faces the same test twice. It has to read against a pale cloth, which is what a set table looks like, and against dark wood, which is what a bare table looks like. Most colours manage one.
Pale tiles vanish on cream linen. Bright tiles shout on oak. A deep green holds its edge on both, which is why it turns up on club tables more often than any other coloured set.
The green runs through the acrylic rather than sitting on the surface. Practically, that means the long edges and the corners, the parts a hand touches on every single tile, look the same after 5 years as the untouched centre of the face.
It is the failure people notice on printed sets: the faces are fine, the edges have gone pale, and the set starts to look tired without anything actually being broken.
Mahjong is 4 player game and sets are sold for 4, but it is worth saying plainly because tile only listings often are not complete sets at all. This one seats a full table.
Damp cloth, no solvent, and storage that keeps the tiles from grinding against each other or against keys. Out of direct sun, which dulls any resin over years.
The supplier does not publish the tile count or size for this set. If you are matching it to existing racks, ask before ordering: a rack cut for 30 mm tiles will not hold a 40 mm set.

Read at a glance
Nobody wants to squint at their own hand. Faces that carry across the table, so the game moves and nobody has to ask.
Weight you'll notice
The difference between a tile you tolerate and a tile you reach for is in your fingers. Heavier tiles shuffle better and stack straighter.
Match your mat
Tiles set the palette for everything else on the table. Pick the ones you want to build around.
Decide the version first, because it fixes the tile count and everything downstream. Then think about contrast, which is the factor nobody considers until they are squinting at a wall from the far seat. A deep green separates from pale cloth and from the ivory racks most tables already own, which is a more useful property than it sounds at nine in the evening.
Some, and completeness decides most of it. A full pre war set in bone and bamboo with its original case is a collectors item; the same set with 3 tiles missing is a decorative object. Age on its own settles nothing, and mid century plastic sets are common enough to be worth little. If you are buying to play rather than to keep, condition matters more than provenance.
Compare the shopping list. Chinese play needs tiles. American play needs tiles in a higher count and a bigger size, 4 racks because the hand cannot be held flat, pushers to move the wall, and a card that expires at the end of the year. Each is a small market with no volume behind it, and the total arrives in several separate purchases.
The traditional set has no jokers, and that single difference reshapes everything else. Jokers push the count above 144, the extra tiles want a bigger box, and the hands they enable are written on an annual card rather than fixed by long custom. Physically the American tile is also larger, which is why racks are near universal on one side and rare on the other.
A mahjong set is handled more than almost anything else in the house: every tile passes through four pairs of hands, several times a game.
That is what we select for. Tiles that read clearly from the far side of the table, edges that stay clean, and a case that still closes after a few seasons of being carried around.
Sets differ in ways that only show at the table: the weight of a tile in the hand, how a crak reads from three seats away, whether the case survives the trip to a friend’s house.
When we have the figures, we publish them: tile count, tile size, weight and material. When we do not have one, we leave it out rather than guess.
